Dear Awesome person,
In the same way that humor is often used to poke fun at tragic or depressing events, I think hand-drawn scribbles can be used to approach serious subjects with levity.
This is one of the things that makes them a fantastic storytelling tool.
In my latest blog post I write about the accessibility of doodles – how they can reframe our perspective, much like joking can; and how their lack of visual definition – their imperfections – allow us to define specificity on our own terms, projecting our own personal emotions and experiences onto them.
Read on for more goodies: new work, yet another blog post, and stuff I like & want to share. Let me know what you think! I'd love to hear from you (really).
With the freshness of the changing seasons,
Julia
